Here is my New Kingdom army deploying. Pharaoh is at the back of the army at the top of the picture. The Pharaoh is attached to a guard chariot unit top left. There are 4 divisions in all shown here. At the bottom of the image is the first division deploying. Notice that all are in column. By making a left face they will go into battle line. Behind the first line in are two more divisions. These have already deployed with archers on each flank of the heavy infantry. Chariots have taken up position to the second division's left (right side on the image) The third division has done the same except that their chariots on on the other flank. Pharaoh's divsion is to the very rear. For photographic purposes I have shown the divisions one behind the other. They would probably deploy side by side. Often they might come to the battlefield from different directions.

Pharaoh's command consists of a division of spear men (blue shields) and axe men (in front of the blue shields). In addition to these and the Pharaoh and his divisional chariots (left) there is a unit of archers (right). The archers I have in open order. Here I am showing Pharaoh attached to his divisional chariots. The Pharaoh's division is under his personal command.
